2135-S - Pumps for Encapsulation

CPI require pumps for encapsulation to use as part of its response to COVID-19 vaccine project. The Public Contract Regulations 2015 state in regulation 32.2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:- (b)where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:- (ii)competition is absent for technical reasons. The technical transfer of the current manufacturing process CPI are receiving is based upon use of prespecified pumps. Due to operating under GMP conditions, we are therefore restricted to the same supplier to ensure that we do not deviate from their existing process.
